Do any of you believe that Jin the MC will actually make big in mainstream rap?

Based on his attempt when he had 'Learn Chinese' on TRL, I don't think so. (He didn't place in the countdown)

I mean, he can rap well, but can he rap for the mainstream money?

i hope he does well in mainstream cause we need more azn representation. just cause he didnt do well wit one vid, doesnt mean he wont do well. i think he does have skill and can rap better then most rappers out there, but idk wats gunna happen.

his album comes on on oct. 19 i believe
i'ma go buy it, support him if u want and go out and buy his album

He not going to make it big as other rappers like Jay-Z. But he will be someone on the charts if he keep doing his freestyling. He does have talent and joining up with ruff ryders shows that they see it in him.

Jin's got the whole asian community that's actually interested in hip-hop. but i doubt he'll hit mainstream. i'm sorry, but that's just what i think.

yes. i agree...he was the BOMB when he wuz on Freestyle Fridays.. i.e. "you say i'm Chinese yo here's a reminda..check ur timbs they prolly say made in China.."..that's when everybody realized he could freestyle...

but LEARN CHINESE???..that was a terrible song. i'm sorry. maybe next single..


btw, didn't Canibus go to Iraq?

Not really, my cousins were interested in hip-hop even before Jin.

yeah canibus joined the army i think... and no jin didnt get me interested in hiphop but those 106 and park days were classic... especcially since his opponents were actually good (well some of them)...

He is a little more successful with BET than MTV but.. his battling skills are so much better than his actual songs. Oh and yeah I did see him on that battle in P.R.--- he won $50,000 but still:

Learn Chinese-pityful.

I just heard "The Rest is History"... and yeah if Jin doesn't step up his game soon then his career will be history. His freestyles are hotter than his actual songs...

i listened to his new album. i'm gonna buy it. but in my opinion, some of his songs don't sound like singles or things that everybody will be listening to in their cars. i want him to succeed. i really hope he does.. i hope snacky chan will come out soon also. haha

the whole "jin got the whole asian community involved into hip hop". no, that's not true. asians loved hiphop before jin came out. (with me, it was bone thugz n harmony's "crossroads".. my first taste)

utada hikaru, i liked her japanese music better than her american. "easy breezy" is so corny lol but i hope she succeeds also. i kinda doubt it though.. i hope that the press she's getting will help her out. (she was in seventeen magazine, a whole page =O)
